I agree having a short statement is useful. Is it required? Do we
accept nominations that don't include them?
I think we haven't to set up limits: someone express him/herself with
more words, someone else, instead, need only three words (no one is
better, it's just a question of style, like behing Orwell or Joyce
:)).
The second question has a simple answer: no words, means no interest
or no motivation to run. I think everyone has an idea, event "Organize
Events for pets" (n.b. just an exageration).
Moreover, he/she could have ALL the time needed to write this. So,
just keep it blank when you take a decision, but in the following
days, please, add even a brief statement.
That's a reasonable and democratic way, and everytime it works fine.
Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting we put the names in
alphabetical
order. I just used that as an example of one rule that exists
elsewhere for ordering the names on the nomination page. Having them
appear in the order the nominations were made seems good to me too,
maybe even better since it carries some information along with it.
I don't think we need to do anything this time around, but if people
would like a more specific rule for next time they can suggest one. :)
Just sort them in alphabetical order. Nobody will complain it ;)
(FAmSCo will do this)
Hoping it could clear the point
